Zac Efron: "I Like Curvy Girls"

Zac Efron prefers to date curvy girls and says he's "huge on legs".

The High School Musical hunk -- who's dating his co-star Vanessa Hudgens -- says he likes girls with hips but insists personality is just as important as looks.

He explains, "I don't know the exact measurements but I like curvy girls - girls with hips. I'm also huge on legs. I love girls with nice, long, sexy legs.

"I don't always find myself dating super-skinny girls. It's not all about what you look like, it's so much more. I know it sounds really cheesy but it's more about what's on the inside when you're dating a girl."

The 20-year-old actor also said he would be prepared to pile on the pounds if a role demanded it.

He added, "I would go pretty far with putting on weight, but not too far. For the movie 'Hairspray', I put on between nine and 13lbs, mainly from the dancing and training. I ate lots of protein too, like chicken nuggets.

"I bulked up because if you look at stars from the 60s, like Elvis Presley, they didn't work out in the gym and I wanted to capture that look."
